Summer competitions 2023 (Japan domestic)

Time to see what that nasty looking bundle is...

BTW~
Does everyone planning to follow the competition tomorrow know that the events will start 2 hours earlier than originally scheduled due to the typhoon expected to hit West and Central Japan?

This will be affecting to West Japan Middle and Grade School Student Competition happening over the next few days as well

Should've mentioned this during the Sr Women's event when there was likely more traffic

Thanks for the updates. Yes, there are schedule changes due to the upcoming typhoon.

Pretty much the Gensan competitions (Jr. men followed by Sr. women) will start 2 hrs earlier. As for the West Japan Middle/Grade school competitions, it looks like the NvA level competitions are cancelled, and higher level Jr. skaters will compete for only the FS (updated schedule here)

omigod...I really think that's the raw beef just packed in see through packaging to show it off better?!
They do receive a plushie but it's a Gen-san doll
omigod...that's absolutely disgusting!

Edit: Maybe it's just for the photo's to show the quality and amount of what the winner receives?
I'm guessing they still take home a fancy gift box?

 

[tsuyoboogie]

In my defense, this is my first time following this comp and I'm not familiar with the meat handling situation . A plushie does make a lot more sense lol

Actually, I think you might be right about that bundle being the beef

I trust Sota!
Like last season, he'll be ready and skating strong by his GP events.
Actually, it might be better that he doesn't peak too early so he can maintain until the end of the season

He said he didn't have much time to practice the FS as he was hampered by foot injury. I'm just glad he finished the competition in one piece TBH. Congrats to Kao!

 

[yesterday]

Wow... why do they have to place all comps on the same weekend? that's so much and then there's comps in other countries and time difference and omg

Wow, Kazuhiro Nakura gets so low in his cantilever it almost looks as if his scapula is grazing the ice...
Quite impressive

Someone NEEDS to scout Yota Mihara for Solo Dance
Please...I beg
It would be the perfect fit to showcase his strengths and talent

EbiDai does have issues with consistency but considering he just skated 4 programs in 3 days he gets a pass for this performance

Not blaming him of course... just saying

And sure, this boy can be a mess too but at least he has components to help him when the jumps aren't working

What happened to Rio's layout... (was watching from twitter reports)?

Aside from the successful 4T debut?
If they count the 3F1Lo as a combo rather than a 3F(so) he would've done an extra invalid? combo
Looked as if he temporarily forgot he just did a 3 jump Euler combo and was about to do it again
